Animation

Motion like the petals!!

After a lot of trials came up with a way to create flower inspired motion of the object.

The model still needs modifications like strengthening the overall body of the model..providing better supports. 

However i started doing some animations simultaneously. 

The projection mapping is still ongoing and i will upload a few videos of the same soon.

Petals Mechanism

A start at Animation for the projection mapping...

Heres my design for the object.

Trying to control stepper motor with a potentiometer.

I was successfully able to control the speed of LED blinking with the pot.

 Next step is to do the same with the motor.

Got these two types of switches..a limit switch and a push button.

Still trying to integrate it with the motor shield. 

Animation for object

Trying a few motions of the motor in Maya.

Projection mapping on a moving object..

Mapped four colours onto the four sides of a moving pyramid.

     

Little something about arduinos

The aim was to run a stepper motor using Arduino Uno and Motor shield V1.0.

After some difficulties while interfacing the motor and after playing around with the codes, the motor was running successfully.

Here are some pictures and videos of the same.

   

   

 And the object for tomorrow experiment with projection mapping

Projection Mapping

Simple animation projection mapped onto two cubical objects and also a diamond shaped object.

Since this was the first time i was doing projection mapping, i thought i would start with a simple object and simple animations.

Here are some pictures and videos of the same.

I am now planning on improving on the mapping part of the project and then try doing simple animations on more complex objects.

Arduino Uno: Basic Setup

The Arduino program was installed to the computer and then a Blink Test Program was run on it successfully.
